Hi friends! I'm Jennifer, a fifty-something wife and mother of 7 children ages 10 - 25. We are Catholic. We homeschool. We cook from scratch. We farm cranberries. We drink coffee. We advocate for Down syndrome awareness. We are loud. We are chaotic.
Here I'll share vlogs about all these things, what I'm doing that works and what I've tried but didn't work. I hope to encourage you in your journey through motherhood, homeschooling, learning to cook, and growing in your faith through it all.

Love watching your grocery hauls. It really pays to stick up anymore.

[@tracersburkett6294]

I also love the grandmas molasses!!!

[@malisadrake396]

Missed seeing your once a month hauls, thank you for sharing.

[@roxannegray2796]

That baking spray is so good! We use it all the time.

[@debgordon6542]

I'd squeal with delight over the big variety box of ice cream, too!! We're making "Jennifer's Broccoli and Cauliflower soup" tomorrow night :-). It definitely needs to be in your 3rd Cook Book!!

[@cynthiafrance6741]

simple is great thanx for sharing have a great day

[@anna27446]

Finally someone else who likes Miracle Whip! 🎉🎉☺️🎉🎉

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Jennifer and sweet family! Your getting ready for cranberry harvest which means you are busy in the kitchen. Life has been busy for me to. Nice grocery haul. Have a blessed night sweet family!

[@MeloyKimberly]

I always see you buy the Brats at Aldi. I picked them up for my husband and son and they grilled them tonight and raved over them! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@acountrylife]

So good! The fresh beer brats are a favorite.

[@10KidsandAGarage]

We also have two pigs going in in October and our steer goes in next year. Love having a lot food on hand especially when days are busy with homeschooling. I love following moms with similar interests. I need to checkout more of your videos.

[@acountrylife]

Welcome! I just checked out your channel. Are you part of the Souptember collab? I should check my list. Maybe we could do a WI vlogger collab. That would be fun.

[@sweetccnz3338]

Nice to see you....fun to see the type of things you guys buy...we only have Safeway, foodland, whole foods here in Maui...and a couple organic health food places...our target and Walmart do have some foods ...but no Aldi places...so seeing the different stuff is just kinda fun ....thanks Jennifer 🎉

[@anna27446]

The Boston lettuce is great for making PF Changs chicken lettuce wraps, they’re one of my favorites. Jennifer, you’d love them! 😊

[@tracersburkett6294]

I was spoiled with amazing apple cider when I lived in Pennsylvania. Now that we live in SD it’s hard to find. We have an Aldi an hour away and it’s our favorite apple cider locally. Highly recommend it!

[@s.belton8447]

I love to see your grocery hauls. The nearest Aldi to me is about 30mins away . Because of your videos, I’ve been going there for the past two years. The red bag chicken patties are my favorite. Thanks for sharing every month.

[@TeresaRaab-hb5co]

We get a half a hog and half a steer,also. So thankful to have the meat in the freezer.Cranberry harvest sounds interesting

[@carolmain9462]

Jennifer thank you for sharing your vlog much appreciated by us all I kindly ask you to make bacon wrapped corn bread muffins they are delicious and also a bacon and egg and cheese galette❤❤❤

[@sarahfunni7535]

Aldi also shortened the drawstring bags, I just noticed today when opening my box and putting a bag in. I thought I was crazy 😂

[@acountrylife]

Bummer! Lots of items are shrinking as of late.

[@jamiewilhelm1388]

I love how you do from scratch cooking an semi homemade cooking . It's so down to earth an what works for real life with kids and busy seasons of life. Thanks for your videos

[@acountrylife]

I appreciate that. It’s real life.

[@naomimagee844]

Thank you for sharing

[@SusanJones-cv4wz]

Enjoyed!

[@lisahanneman3977]

I noticed the same thing with the garbage/trash bags.

[@jackandpiper]

Hi, Jennifer! Since you talked about quick and easy lunches, a recipe that my mom used to make came to mind..I think your children would really enjoy these, you can eat them just with the spread, or add extra topping🙂 Pizza Butter 6 oz can of tomato paste 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella 1 teaspoon of sugar 1 teaspoon of oregano 1 pound of softened butter or margarine 5-6 shakes of garlic powder Combine and refrigerate , spread on English muffins, and broil until bubbly This recipe makes a lot, but you can freeze some for a later date…they really are delicious! Also, it lasts a good amount of time just stored in the refrigerator, in a sealed container 🙂

[@acountrylife]

Thank you, I'd definitely try this.

[@katiel3457]

Thanks for your videos, I always enjoy them! I’ve seen that spinach pizza before at Aldi and wanted to try it but haven’t yet, so I’ll have to now. 🙂

[@acountrylife]

It had such good flavor.

[@lindaedwards9756]

Looking forward to cranberry harvest.

[@lolitapez540]

Stronger molasses is usually for cooking😊

[@thewoodenspoon9679]

Grandma’s Molasses is the best for holiday cookies! This was a great grocery haul! Always enjoy these!

[@JAWELSH2008]

Hi Jennifer! Love your grocery hauls! Have you done a pantry tour lately? I’m always amazed at how much you buy at once and I’m so curious how you store it all! Happy harvesting!

[@jaynebennett3401]

We had a whole week last week of very cool weather which got me thinking casseroles! I did make chicken Chili and Kielbasa with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Of course this week is back to mid 80’s

[@acountrylife]

Sounds great!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning all happy Friday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you and I enjoy your channel

[@pennysue8926]

A great haul!!! TFS!!

[@cherylmcconnell3167]

That’s ok….it’s better to have two baking cocoas than none at all 😃. I laughed when you talked about running out of the family’s favourite condiments….I think there would be a riot in my house if we ran out of ketchup 😂

[@reneemorlan1855]

❤

[@lemoncrinckles]

Thank you for sharing your haul, Jennifer. Always fun to see what other families eat. I love your cranberry harvest vlogs, so I'm looking forward to whatever you have time to share. ☺

[@hollyfink6168]

I can’t imagine spending that much at Aldi!

[@r.p.9829]

During harvest time she feeds extra people who help work it...

[@MichaelaGronemann]

Why Not she Has to feed a Lot of people in harvest season

[@debgordon6542]

Probably spent most of that time at Walmart

[@mollysmith6055]

Isn't it sad how the consumer's dollar buys less and less now? And I know Jennifer is a very careful shopper too.

[@acountrylife]

I like to grocery shop sparingly.😄Each trip is a big expense.

[@cathydecarles7084]

Jennifer You are amazing Sweet Friend I loved watching since Maria 5 or 6 love you all Much love Cathy🙏🏻✝️☮️📿💜💙🌺🌹❤️💚💕🍀🎃🍁🎃✝️

[@christieflesch3750]

Great haul❤❤❤

[@mommyof2g1b]

I would be excited over the ice creams too!!! Enjoyed your video!

[@terrychittam8483]

❤❤❤❤

[@kelliconlan8133]

Butter sale at Kwik Trip is till 9/25/23 !!

[@acountrylife]

Thanks. 😀

[@TeresaRaab-hb5co]

I like their onion rings. Don't see them often at Aldi.

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Jennifer. Great haul. I also prefer Grandma's molasses (I think maybe Bre'r Rabbit is the one you may be thinking about because it is stronger IMO) and Folgers Black Silk is THE only coffee I drink--the very best when you drink your coffee black!! Cannot wait to go along on the cranberry harvest!! Have a blessed.

[@kristenschnese6980]

I told my y friend who is going to the Cranberry fest if she saw where you are to stop by Mietosi pizza thin and crispy spinach pizza yum! Go Packers !

[@acountrylife]

I was there Friday. Did she stop and say hi 👋

[@JustAllisonM]

I was so excited to see a grocery haul.

[@cathykillion6544]

Enjoyed the video

[@kathieponder7708]

Wow, prices are really going up

[@damdekmyhomeដំដែកផ្ទះខ្ញុំ]

Very nice haul

[@acountrylife]

Thank you 😊

[@mollysmith6055]

I wish two things: for Aldi and Portesi products! Jennifer, your hauls are always interesting and so neat how they change depending on time of year. Good thing I don't have space for those ice cream treats....Hubby would mow through it fast. He won't complain though, I just made the oatmeal raisin cookies from one of your cookbooks so there is PLENTY of sweetness for him. Ooh, you will love the baking spray if its like the original. Makes bundt cakes SO easy to release! I'm just now doing my monthly shopping because we've been fighting the (probably) 'C' virus for the last 3 weeks. (Can you believe we've never had *it* till now?) We haven't been eating as much which is frustrating because I NEED room in the freezer for bags of cranberries this year, haha. And speaking of that...my deep freezer is curiously missing a 2# bag of Ocean Spray Craisins that I got at Costco last winter. hmm Now I wonder where they could have gone??? Ah well, it is fun to tease Hubby but he is such a good man that I can't complain if he gets joy from 'sneaking' good foods from the freezer. Who else would they be saved for anyway? Jennifer, you won't be sorry for any extras you bought as we watch food prices reach into predicted hyperinflation areas. I pray for young families, fixed-income/disability seniors and those who aren't able to garden or put any food aside for hard times.

[@acountrylife]

Always good to have extras in the freezer for sneaking later!!

[@caralyn-ca-5016]

I love Hellmans I believe it’s the only true Mayo, BUT!!! It’s bioengineered like 70% of the food is. So I changed to Burmans and it’s just fine. Not the same flavor as hellmans, but is fine. And cheaper too.

[@beckymiller2185]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@pattynelson305]

Jennifer it was so nice to see you today at Cranfest. How was the cheesecake?

[@acountrylife]

Good morning Patty (and Tim), glad to meet you at the Cranfest. The cheesecake was divine. The mint drizzle was excellent.

[@sandynull7576]

😊

[@pyewacketpeggy8329]

Have you noticed the brown sugar at ALDIs is really light. It’s visible in my container. I think they cut back on the molasses.

[@acountrylife]

I haven't noticed, but I'm sure it's how they cut costs. I've noticed a number of items shrinking by an ounce.

[@tisherbug27]

Nice haul! We are in northwest MO and avoid Wal-Mart as much as possible! Their grocery prices are the most expensive out of all the stores in our area and it is so disappointing. We stock up at Aldi or at another local grocer. TFS!!!

[@tammybrown1327]

Great haul!

[@karenkaren5013]

The bagged chicken filets makes the best chicken parm. I cook mine in the airfryer. It comes out nice and crispy but not to crispy 😂❤. I love the verity of food you buy. It's a great mixture of good food and snacks 😂❤. Now I want ice cream for some reason lol❤ or maybe some cereal 🤔 no I want all of it lol❤.

[@mealeaFlowers]

Take

[@karenchakey]

Hi Jen is your budget still 700 a month? With food prices so high my food bill is high just for 2 of us

[@acountrylife]

I'm keeping to $750, but not buying tons of meat because we bought half a hog and half a steer. I didn't pull that money from the grocery budget so technically we spend more if you add in the bulk meat expense.

[@catwoman4580]

Do you grow your own potatoes?

[@acountrylife]

Not this year.

[@jankitteringham8483]

🇬🇧🥰

[@yanak7159]

The garbage bags for sure are smaller now. I’ve been buying those same ones for a long time and the last time I bought them, I have to stretch the bag so much, it barely goes on and rips sometimes. And the length of the actual bag seems a lot shorter too. So annoying. Even though the measurements on the box are the same. Won’t be buying those anymore.

[@annmatthews3579]

First?

[@marykirkpatrick9382]

Crisco has a lot of trans fats. Very unhealthy.

[@anna27446]

Many things in life are, in small amounts-eh🤷🏻‍♀️

[@r.p.9829]

My mothers pound cake uses crisco..wouldn't change it for the world...as we don't make it that often I don't mind the extra fat...

[@debgordon6542]

Great for pie crusts :-)

[@acountrylife]

You're right - lots of trans fats, but some things work better with Crisco.
